Waikato District largely avoided the effects of Cyclone Cook. Yesterday’s weather resulted in a few slips and limited flooding throughout the district.
The Waikato District is still cleaning up from the effects of last week’s storm, ex-Cyclone Debbie, and roads that were damaged will be inspected over the coming weeks.
Known slips from last night’s weather:
- Rotowaru Road (Huntly side of Glen Affton Township, by bridge) – one lane blocked
- Hakarimata Road (3 or 4 corners from the Waikato Alliance depot) – one lane blocked
- Waeranga Rd – from Te Kauwhata at the intersection of Kelly Road – small slip with an overhanging tree
Known flooding from last night’s weather:
- Waingaro Rd – Just before Glen Massey
- Tahuna Rd – 5km East of Te Hoe
- Hakarimata Rd – near the above mentioned slip, 3 or 4 corners from the Waikato Alliance depot
